[Chad DeDominicis] We’re closing in on the 20 game mark where I personally start to believe the numbers are real for teams. So my early 14-game Sabres take: They’re an ok team. It reminds me of 2022-23. They’re finishing good at 5v5 again, currently 8th GF/60 at 5v5.

> [The difference this time around is I think they’ll get better goaltending & they’re better defensively (to a degree). I think they have a little more diversity in their overall game. Not all rush hockey.
It’s marginal improvements in areas that I think could lead to a playoff spot.](https://x.com/CMDeDominicis/status/1854938724750229882)
>[The margin of error is thin and because they still have flaws there are going to be games or stretches it looks sorta ugly.
I’m pretty confident they’ll be a team that’s going to be “in it” come March/April.](https://x.com/CMDeDominicis/status/1854939214330167702)
No Eric Comrie starts to ruin the season
“Need 20 games to form an educated opinion. Have 14: make opinion!”
They are grinding the offensive zone and hitting.. this team is only going to get better once they figure out the PP..
They are so good 5v5
At this rate though, we fall outside of playoff territory
